Existence of solutions to fractional equations with Hardy potential on compact Riemannian manifolds

Shengbing Deng, Fanyun Li

Abstract:
In this article, we study a fractional Laplace equation on a compact Riemannian manifold involving a Hardy potential and a nonlinearity with critical exponent, $$ (-\Delta_g)^s u - \mu \frac{u}{d_g(x, x_0)^{2s}} = \lambda f(x)|u|^{p-2}u + k(x) |u|^{2_s^*-2}u \quad \text{in } M, $$ where \( n > 2s \), \( s \in (0,1) \), \( 2 < p < 2_s^* \), and \( 2_s^* = \frac{2n}{n-2s} \) denotes the fractional Sobolev critical exponent. Under suitable conditions on the parameters \(\mu, \lambda\) and the smooth positive functions \( f \) and \( k \), we employ critical point theory to establish the existence of nontrivial solutions.
